Re: Checking a method for parameter types via SEL

Can someone who have been using cocoa long please tell me how to do this?
The signature should be like this:
-(BOOL) aMethod: (id) owner;

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

The Obj-C runtime supports introspection and you can grab the method signature and then rip it apart to deduce parameter and return types. To a degree; you lose with complex C types and certain other parameter types.

I would suggest poking through the source code for one of the various Obj-C bridges to see the full details; PyObjC, F-Script (Smalltalk- esque), RubyCocoa, and CamelBones (Perl-ObjC) all introspect to do cross language method dispatches.
